The other morning as the %janitor of {

opened the door he was surprised to OBJ
serve three rather ~tired-looking citizens
seated on the steps, the center one o.

"What collaterals have you-govern-

Government nothin'. I've got some
thing that beats 4 per cents all hollow.
You see, I've been sitting ina poker game
across the street, and there's over $4,000
in the pot. There's three or four pretty
strong hands out, and as I've every cent
in the center, the boys have given me
thirty minutes to raise a stake on my
hand. It's in this envelope. Just look at
it. But don't give it away to these gentle
men. They're in the game, and came
along to see | don't monkey with the

"But, my dear SIR said the cashier, who
had quietly opened the envelope and
found it contained four kings and an ace,
this is entirely irregular-we don't lend
money IN cards."
"But you amt going to see me raised
out On a hand like that ?" whispered the
pokerist. "These fellows think I'm bluff

so I've got 'em right in the door.
Cant help ii, sir. Never heard of such
a thing" said the cashier, and the disap-
pointed applicant and friends drifted sadly
out of the door. On the corner they met
the banks president, who was himself Just
from a quiet, little, all-night game at the
Union. They explained the case again,
the next moment the superior officer
darted into the bank, seized a bag of
twenties and followed the trio. In about
ten minutes he returned with the bag and
an extra handful Of twenties, which he
laid on the counter.
"Here, credit $500 to interest account"
he said to the cashier. ''Why, | thought
you had more business snap, sir. Ever

"No, sir"
